Revolution s01e19 Episode Script

Children of Men

Previously on Revolution.
The Tower is a place where the power can be turned back on, which means I lose my only advantage in this war.
Just get the elevators working, Grace.
Get me down to Level 12.
- Trust me, you want in.
- And why is that? 'Cause turning the lights back on is the least he can do.
I'm talking about power.
Real power.
I don't understand.
It should work.
Something's wrong.
We are running out of time here.
Rachel's in danger.
Monroe knows she went to The Tower.
He took an army.
You're gonna take us there.
Dr.
Warren's journal has everything about The Tower.
Get inside.
Turn the power back on.
I am going to go down there and I am going to kill Monroe.
- Give me a head count! - Who's been injured? Check perimeter! Thank you.
Women Am I right? How you feeling? Like hell.
But I'm ready.
Okay.
The Tower is four miles ahead.
Probably got an entire army waiting for us, not to mention Monroe himself.
But, what the hell? Just another Monday, right? Let's go get your mom.
- You know how to open this door? - No.
Right, because you've always been so straight with me.
So, how about you and Mr.
Flynn here show me around? What is this, Mr.
Flynn? It's a supercollider, sir.
And it's just the tip of the iceberg.
How could you bring Monroe here? It's insane, even for you.
See, unlike you, Rachel, I have a healthy interest in self-preservation.
And I'm curious.
You don't have security clearance.
How did you get that door open? I have no idea.
- Then it must be Grace.
- What do you mean? I left her here under close supervision.
When I come back, I can't get in and you can? She must have gotten loose.
Dicking around with computers, playing games.
Why would she do that? I'm going to find out.
You really think that Grace took out one of your guys? Who else could it be? It's just what the hell is he even doing down there? Are you questioning the general's judgment, Captain? No.
No, of course not.
Hey! Hey! Open the door! You, get this door open.
Fan out.
Well let's go say hello.
S01 Ep19 - Children of Men - - How is look? - That's not good.
Any sign of Rachel? Boy The way you talk about that woman.
You sweet on her or something? Be realistic.
She probably never made it past Omaha.
Over there.
Scouts.
Aaron pittman.
My God.
You? Aaron.
Miles! Well, I'll be damned.
Grace fixed it.
These are all live.
The satellites are still up? Globally.
You can see anything you like.
You weren't lying, Mr.
Flynn.
This place is impressive.
This was the crown jewel of the U.
S.
military.
Impervious to everything, including the blackout.
It's fully powered.
Nothing we can't do from here.
Such as? You can spy on anyone in the world.
Listen to anything they're saying, or kill them.
All with the push of a button.
But you'll need my help to do it, of course.
And you can do all that from here? Well, no.
We gotta get to Level 12 first.
Randall.
He's telling the truth, isn't he? All right, Level 12 it is.
Going down.
I never thought I'd see you again.
Same here.
How's it going back home? Well, if you can't turn the power on, that's the end of Georgia and the rebels.
Good, so no pressure.
Yeah, can we do this later? Tell them what you told me.
Rachel is in The Tower with Monroe.
- How did that happen? - She She went down to kill him.
To blow herself up.
And you just let her.
Can you stop Rachel from doing anything? 'Cause I can't.
That's fascinating, chubs.
Now, can you get us inside that door or not? With this book I can, you dick.
But how are we gonna get past those troops? It's not working.
What's going on? Look, it doesn't matter.
There's a stairwell at the other end of the building Randall, what the hell is this? - What the hell? - My God! Get down! Where's it coming from? No! Let me in, Rachel! - No.
- Let me in! Stop! Just stop it for a second! What the hell just happened? Who are they? Who are they? What the hell? Stay here.
- Take left flank! - Go, go, go! Aaron, what's the holdup? It's a 62-character override code, okay? It's gonna take a minute.
You don't have a minute.
Come on.
Aargh! God! Open the door, Aaron! I don't do well under pressure! Running low on ammo! Okay! I got it! I got it! That's it! Go, go, go, go, go, go! I'm out.
Jason, come on! Go, go, go, go! Flank them on the left! Shoot him! Don't let him get away! Come on, come on.
Fire! Advance! Go! Shut the door, Aaron.
No, no, no, no, wait! Jason is still out there.
Do it now! Wait! Stay down, son! No! So you're telling me you have no idea who these people are? - No.
- Are they with Randall? I don't know.
With any luck, Randall is dead.
How do we get out? I don't know.
- Are there any weapons around here? - I don't know.
Really? You don't know? You knew to run straight to this this, this bunker, whatever, but you don't know anything? Rachel, your only chance, and our only chance, is if we help each other.
Why would I want that? I want you to die.
So much that you want to die too? I haven't made that clear? You're lying.
Now trust me, Rachel.
I know something about this.
You know, every so often some poor sap Jumps from a bridge, trying to off himself, but he survives.
And when you talk to them after To a man, they all say the same thing The moment they jumped, they regretted it, which means the successful ones do too.
The moment they open their wrist, kick loose that chair, the last thought that goes through their mind is, "I made a mistake.
" So you are telling me, back in the tent with that grenade, you weren't thinking the exact same thing? So how about we actually get out of here alive? Then you can get back to trying to kill me.
You know how to open this? Don't worry, we're never going to use them.
Then why did Grace go to the trouble of making them? As a precaution.
The containment protocols are rock solid.
There is still a chance it could go wrong.
I have to get this done.
Ben.
- Ben, look at me, come on.
- What do you want me to say? We need to stop the launch.
We need to tell Randall to stop it.
And how do you propose we do that? We call the president? We chain ourselves to the front door of the Pentagon? Don't talk to me like that.
That is so condescending.
Unbelievable! You live in this fantasy world.
I don't want to fight.
I feel like all we do is fight.
I am not having this conversation right now.
Can we please just get through this week? Yeah.
Okay.
And then I think that we should spend some time apart.
My parents were behind all this? I didn't know them at all.
Franklin.
Riley.
- Congratulations.
- Sorry? On your promotion, to major.
And you.
You must be one of the youngest captains in the Republic.
My hat is off to you.
Our men saw Miles Matheson get through that door with your help.
How do we get in, Tom? Where's Captain Baker? Shouldn't he be running point? Unless Monroe blew his face off.
- Or is that just a rumor? - Answer the question.
How do we get inside? Monroe has been doing that a lot lately.
Murdering his best and his brightest.
Hell, I was a victim of that same psychotic behavior.
Right.
You're such a victim.
How many of my men did you just kill? They used to be my men too.
Excuse me, sir? They're asking for you at the infirmary.
Enjoy those promotions, boys.
'Cause it's only a matter of time before Monroe turns on you.
Just like he turned on the rest of us.
- What? - What's your angle? My God.
Rachel? Is it my my mom? It's not her.
Who the hell did this? And with what? Guys.
Guys! Someone's coming.
God, look at this monkeys! Over here! Move it, come on, let's go! Aaron, come on! What is this place, anyway? V.
P.
bunker.
Cheney used it.
- It was his "undisclosed location.
" - Are you serious? You know what I think? I think you know how to open this door.
Yeah, you're right.
I do.
You're right about all of it.
I don't want to die.
I want to see my daughter again.
- So why don't you help me? - Because you killed Danny.
You you murdered my son.
Rachel, I wasn't even there.
Don't you dare say that to me! You have always made excuses, but You Not about this.
Not this.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
I don't know how this got so out of control.
- I have a son.
- What? I don't know where he is.
I've been looking for him.
But it makes you wonder If he saw me If he knew all the things that I've done What would he think of me? You're right, Rachel.
I'm sorry.
No more excuses.
I know exactly how much blood is on my hands, Rachel.
Rachel.
What's wrong? I went into town for supplies.
Ben, the the smell.
They're not even burning the bodies anymore.
They're just leaving them in the street.
This little boy, all by himself, skin and bones He ran off before I could grab him.
He wasn't any older than Charlie.
- We we did this.
- Hey.
All of it.
That little boy's blood, the millions like him, it it is on our hands, and, Ben How are we supposed to live with that? Rachel.
Because I-I don't know I don't I don't know if I can live with it.
Rachel, you cannot talk like that.
What we did before, it doesn't matter.
- How can you say that? - It doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters, the only thing, is Charlie and Danny.
We have to hold on.
Stay alive, for them.
They need us Or they will die.
Do you understand that? You and the kids, you're all I have left.
You think we lost them? If we did, it won't be for long.
I've never seen a gun do that.
They're coil guns.
They use electromagnets instead of gunpowder.
It's real Area 51 stuff.
I saw it Mythbusters.
Well, if that's what they're packing, we need one.
Miles, there's an armory up ahead.
Okay, this way.
- Okay, wait here.
- No.
We've got to get to the armory.
We need those guns.
- Guard said you're ready to talk.
- I'm ready to talk to you.
I don't have time for this.
Kid! I can see it in your eyes.
You're terrified of Monroe, and with good reason.
- I'm a loyal citizen of this Republic.
- As am I.
The only thing wrong with the Monroe Republic is Monroe himself.
Look I owe him everything.
He found me, my family, starving in the woods.
He made me the man you see today.
But he's not what he was.
He's paranoid, erratic.
He's not fit to lead.
And who is? You? You know he is.
My dad's a lot of things, Riley.
Believe me.
But he always took care of the men.
They always loved them for it.
- You're talking about a revolt.
- We can do it, Riley.
Who's left who's still loyal to the man? He's killed them all.
We can make a better world, son.
One where you're not afraid.
It can start here, now.
Maybe.
Or maybe you're just trying to save your own asses.
Nice.
Charlie.
- What are you doing here? - Unlock the guns, Rachel.
No matter what I've done to you before, you got to believe me I don't want to let another one of your kids get hurt.
I will help you.
- You're lying.
- You want to kill me so bad you're gonna let Charlie die? - What about Miles? - No promises.
But I will save Charlie, I swear.
Open it.
Charlie! Hello, Charlotte.
A "thank you" would be nice.
Mom? No! Where did Monroe go? What the hell are you doing here, Charlie? I told you not to come.
What am I doing here? What the hell are you doing with him? Come on, let's go.
Damn it, come on! Don't move.
Miles! So, you ready to settle this? Once and for all? Who are you? What did you do with our friends? Hey.
Hey! Give me that.
If you're gonna kill us, just get it over with.
They don't want to kill you, Rachel.
Not if they don't have to.
Grace? Grace? Grace Beaumont? My name is Aaron Pittman, and I've been looking for you for a very long time.
I know who you are, Aaron.
You're a big deal around here.
Excuse me? Hello, Rachel.
My God.
Dan.
- They rescued me.
- Who are they? We left them working at the tower the night of the blackout.
I thought you were dead.
You fell off the face of the Earth.
Not "off" it.
Beneath it.
We've been down here, guarding The Tower, and our children and our children's children will protect it when we're gone.
This is Dr.
Warren's, right? Yeah.
Dan, I don't understand.
We can't let anyone get to Level 12, Rachel.
It's too powerful.
Too dangerous.
So we dismantled the elevators and sealed ourselves in.
How long have you been down here? I can't remember the last time I felt sunlight.
Or rain.
But we kept Level 12 safe.
You're the one who opened the door.
- You led us into a slaughterhouse.
- But we spared you.
Please don't make me regret it.
Good evening, Captain.
What you were talking about They could shoot us for thinking it.
Taking down Monroe won't be easy.
Never said it would be.
But it's right.
This isn't a game, is it? You mean what you say? Every word.
There's 12 of us with you already.
Franklin is still a problem But get rid of him, I'm sure everyone else will fall in line.
I'm proud of you, Captain.
You're a real patriot.
Well You ready? No! We have to turn the lights on! So giving weapons to everyone and then letting them all kill each other, that's your plan? At least people can defend themselves! At least it will be a fair fight! Don't you already have enough blood on your hands? It's more than that.
It's It's medicine, and clean water, and reason! It means I don't have to be afraid of someone coming for me, or my wife! We can help people.
We can make things better.
No.
No! I don't understand.
- Why are you doing this? - Tell him, Rachel.
Tell him what will happen if you flip the switch.
- The lights will come on.
- Or? Grace, the chances of that are one in a billion.
Or or what? If she turns the power on, maybe she saves the world Or maybe she sets it on fire.
Rachel?
